Even as the Covid care centres in South Goa are running at 75 per cent occupancy and with only 35 beds remaining, the centres in North Goa continue to remain inexplicably vacant with all 275 beds being empty since at least the last two months.
When asked about this, Health Minister Vishwajit Rane merely said, “The Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Indoor Stadium is being requisitioned for that and we will activate it soon.”
Over the last few weeks, officials from the DHS cited the lack of demand for Covid beds in North Goa despite patients from the Northern district being sent to Covid care centres in the South for treatment.
